DIR. Nipple has moved from Free
burg TO Selinsgrove. Freeburg has
lost one OF its best citizens and Se-
linsgrove Is the gamer.
The wife of squire Y. IL. Wagner Of
Kratzerville was buried last Saturday.
Sho was n lady loved and respected
/ by all. We have not learned her age.
Harry Schoch appreciates the use
OF printers ink-even to theextent Of
advertising his Insurance business
which is assuming gigantic proper
tions in this county. We call atten-
ton to his advertisement In another
column. 1t speaks for itself
During the windy weather Of last
week one of our brightest girls noted
the following provodential interior
ence aud put it into rhyme
Providence sends the gusty winds,
| That blow our skirts knee high
But God is good; He sends the dust,
To blow in the bad mans oye.
Owing to i'll health, Miss Nellie
Miller has abandoned opening sub
scriptiou school In Erdley's School
House this Spring. Miss Hattie
Swartz OF TroXelyille mas been sccur-
ed in her stead, who commenced u
term yesterday morning with the tu-
ition rsdused from g. 50 to 5000.
The bill repeating the bounty on
the scalps Of hawks, owls, minks
weasels and foxes passed the House
at Harrisburg last week but was
amended in tho Senate, so as to al
low premium on foxes-same a. the
old act of 1885. Some counties ia the
western part OF the state paid as high
as $1,000 Oh premiums in single,
year.
The Erdle sisters one door west OF
Schoch's store, Middleburgh have just
received magnificent line of Spring
millinery and fancy goods, and they
take this method OF returning their
thanks to the people for the liberal
paronage received thus far, and feel
confident that their stock and prices
will merit continued patronage which
they respectfully solicit.
None are truly HAPPY but those
who are busy, for real happiness lies
only in useful work of some kind,
either Of the hand or OF the head, 20
long as over exertion of either is
avoided. 1t should be the aim OF
every one to bo employed. If all men
and women were kept at some useful
employment, there would DO less
sorrow and wickedness in the world.
Henry Schwartzlander while plow-
ing on the farm OF Amos Gemberling
in Penn township last week was
kicked on the mouth by colt he had
hitched, which knocked out several
teeth aud landed him insensible ON
the handles OF the plow where he was
found and removed to the house
where ho remained in an unconscious
condition until the arrival of o ply
sician several hours utter.
We are indebted TO Chss. Il. Samp-
sol for copy Of the Republican, pub
lished at Meade Centre, Kansas,
where Mr.. $. and family are visiting
with the family of J. w. Drcese. 1t
is only the sixth number OF the pa
per aud its general makeup is a
sample of the spirit and enterprise
OF Western institutions OF the kind.
The town is the county ssat OF Meade
county, and though less than two
years OLD has II population OF over
1900
We understand that Rev. J. NJ.
Stover Of the Missionary Institute,
Seinsgroye, has been elected to serve
the TrOztlville Evangelical Lutheran
church. We have known Mr.. Stover
from his boyhood, and have always
Regarded him as IL young man OF ex-
ceptional merit, one who has risen by
dint of personal effort. He is self
made man, possessed of good deliv
cry aud strong reasoning powers.
He will be an ornament to any pull
pit.
President Judge thro'
his district, the other day, on the
cars, was requested by an attorney,
armed with the legal document and a
fountain pen, to sign decree. There
was no writing desk and the Judge
used his knee. We were shown what
purported to be his signature, and it
looked like nothing in heaven ; nor
on the earth nor under the earth
nor in the bowls of the earth nor in
the seat was neither Grecian hye-
roglyphic nor Chinese-it looked like
nothing we have over heard or read
Oft hardly looked like itself. The
Judge may be requested some day to
decypher it.
